I got this item for traveling for our dog, because it folds flat for the glove compartment etc. I think you could serve hot items in it with no problems, if camping for instance. But not boiling hot items.

I love these Tritan bowls. They are clear, tough, look great and go through the dishwasher time after time and come out looking good. However, I don't think that these are made for hot soup temperatures. I haven't tried it however, so . . . .

It is a thin plastic that is ideal for salads, fruit, ice cream, etc. I don't think hot, heavy soups or entrees would be something I would use it for.

I don't use it for hot food, I use a cold pack. I would say it is not insulated so I don't think it would keep hot very long at all.

Yes, we use the bowls in the microwave and heat soup with them often. If I remember correctly they are also safe to 350 degrees in the oven.

I have not used them in the microwave but I would think so as glass is usually tempered to withstand heat. You'd re-heat soup since they're soup bowls.

Yes. But the containers are definitely small, in order not to spill hot soup, you would have to put less than a ladle-full in the bowl. I often use them for milk and cereal [small portions] and the milk does not soak through. I love the bowls because for me, the small portion control is great, but I think most people would want a bigger serving. I also have the lids, which I was surprised DO fit, however, long term storage in the freezer or fridge is not a good idea because they are not airtight. The hot food I have had out of the containers has been fine, they hold up well, the heat does not transfer to the hands. The biggest concern would be that the size really is quite small. Yes.

Yes! We've served oatmeal and pasta in these bowls. We use these bowls for pretty much everything.

If the glass bowl has the same dimensions and has a lid, I don't see why not. The glass bowl would just have different thermal characteristics, I think.

When I poured hot soup in one, it cracked and broke. So, no I would not.. It was pretty and a great size.

It would be great for serving a side dish. I think the shape would make it difficult to eat soup from.

I don't think it would work very well. It wouldn't fit in the space for the bowl, it is an oval shape.

No. On the bottom of the bowl it says do not use in the microwave. Sorry it looks like you should be able to. :(

I use them frequently to make hot oatmeal in the microwave. The handle warms a bit, but the bowl can be hand-held by its handle though care must be exercised not to touch the bottom of the bowl unless one uses a napkin or small cloth. I have found them to have many other uses, and they are extremely convenient, primarily because of the handle. Over time, with frequent use, the bowls may show some minor wear, but they are inexpensive to replace.

My husband and I use this bowl set only has a back-up while traveling with our pet because of its folding ability. I would not advise using this bowl daily because the bowls are plastic and could easily trap contaminated food.
